49 Receptor-Mediated and Intracellular Phenomena

Sunday, November 13, 2016: 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Continental 7 (Hilton San Francisco Union Square)
Description:
This session will include abstracts that deal with both soluble and insoluble factors that stimulate cell signaling through receptor-mediated events. This could include growth factor receptors, integrins, cell-cell junctions, etc. Cells interacting with materials, other cells, or soluble factors would all be appropriate. Experimental approaches and computational analyses could be covered. Analysis and predictions of downstream cell signaling triggered by receptors are of interest.
